UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

HENRY W. HORTON AND SEYMOUR HORTON, OF BINGHAMTON, N. Y.; SAID S. S. HORTON ASSIGNOR TO LESTER D. STONE, OF SAME PLACE.

MILK-COOLING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,802, dated August 31, 1880.

Application filed March 20,1880. (Modeh) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY W. HORTON and SEYMOUR S. HORTON, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk Oooling Apparatus; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a face of our cream-raising apparatus, and

1 Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Our invention relates to a device for cooling milk or raising cream; and the novelty consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be morefully hereinafter set forth.

I11 carrying out our invention we employ a water-tight case or box having a sliding cover and a threaded outlet in the bottom, in which is screwed a removable overflow-pipe. This case is adapted to hold the water and to re- 2 5 ceive the creamwessel, which will be now described. This vessel is preferably of cylindrical form, havingaperforated bottom flange, on which it rests, allowing free passage of the water beneath. An open cylindrical tube al- 0 lows the water to rise in the center of the vessel, the cream-chamber surrounding it. It is provided with an outlet-faucet from the bottom of the cream-chamber, upon which is loose- 1y hung, by a water-tight joint, an outlet-tube,

3 5 thrlaloutlet-orifice of which may be elevated at The vessel is provided with a cover having a central cylindrical tube which matches with the central tube or well in the vessel, and up- 0 wardly-extending flanges to form an ice-dish upon the top. A ventilating-tube leads from the creamchamber upward into the open air to carry off the animal heat and foul air.

From the bottom of the ieedish in the cover,

4 5 in the cover-tube is an opening, which allows the water from the melted ice to flow into the well.

It will be observed that there is a free circulation of water under, around, and within the vessel, as shown.

The lower portions of the guideways are adapted to pull outward and form a support for the sliding cover, allowing pans, cans, 850., to be placed thereon without breakage.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the 5 Water-tight case, having guideways a, in which operates a sliding cover, and a threaded aperture, a, in the bottom, which receives an overflow-pipe, A, perforated at a as shown.

B represents the cream-vessel, having a central cylindrical open tube, B, to form the central well, 0, a perforated bottom flange, B upon which it rests, and an outlet-faucet, D, near the bottom, provided with an adjustable outlet-tube, D, as shown.

Between the outer and inner cylinders is formed the cream-chamber E, from which the outlet-faucet D leads.

F represents the cover, provided with a central cylindrical tube, G, which fits neatly within the tube B and forms a-continuation of the central well. It is perforated at g to allow the water from the melted ice to flow into the well.

Between the outer flange, f, and the upper 7 portion of the tube G is formed a circumferential ice-dish, H, as shown. A ventilatingtube, I, with an adjustable cap, 1, serves to carry off from the cream-chamber all animal heat and foul odors.

J represents the sliding portions of the guideways, forming supports for the sliding cover, allowing the same to be used as a shelf, if desired.

We do not broadly claim an ice or water receptacle perforated for the egress of the water therein contained and placed directly upon the top of the milk-vessel, as such a receptacle is shown in Patent No. 198,537 of December 25, 1877.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The can B, having central well, O, combined with the cover F, having perforated tube Gr 9, ice-dish H, and ventilator I I, as 5 and for the purpose set forth.

2. Jihe cream-can B,having central well,O, have hereunto subscribed our names in the and flange B cover F f, with tube G g, and presence of two witnesses.

ventilator I I, in combination with the case HENRY WV. HORTON.

A, having threaded aperture a, and with the SEYMOUR S. HORTON. 5 removable overflow-pipe A a, as specified, for Witnesses:

purposes set forth. P. P. ROGERS,

In testimony that we claim the above we FRANK DOYLE.
